Living in
France for almost a year, Fr. Paul MICHALAK writes us. The French government
has given him an honorary diploma in recognition of what he did during the war.
He also received a medal reserved for the “Insubordinates” who, during the war,
lived in hiding and refused to work for the Germans. Fr. Michalak states: “It’s
a beautiful medal with a text close to what St. Paul wrote to Timothy: ‘I have
fought the good fight.’ The fight against evil is always current.” And he adds
with humor: “Mind you this: on the day of my burial, one can drape my coffin
with the tricolor: a privilege for the insubordinates according to a law of the
French Ministry of Defense.” (Jacques LALIBERTÉ in INFO OMI, 20 October 2011)
